That is interesting. How did you discover that a higher resolution was
actually being used? If you do a CTL-alt-F1 and log in as root. And then
run system-config-display you don't see the higher resolution as a
choice?

It's running at the lower (1400x1050) resolution. There is a BIOS
setting which stretches lower resolutions to fill the entire screen.
Disabling that option makes the screen display pixel-pixel, but there
are black bars. And now my fonts aren't fuzzy!

I do see the higher resolution in system-config-display, and I set it,
but the lappy does not use it. Checking in Gnome/KDE control panels
(and by the black bars) I see that I'm still at 1400x1050.
